REMARKS

Kotorella pronosoma is a well described and cosmopolitan tentaculariid species (see Palm 2004). The material examined herein is that identified by Schaeffner & Beveridge (2014). The hosts of K. pronosoma presented by Schaeffner & Beveridge (2014) and also registered in the Global Cestode Database were Himantura tutul (therein referred as Himantura uarnak 3) (BO-47), Maculabatis gerrardi (therein referred as Himantura gerrardi ) (BO-23, 49, 88), Maculabatis macrura (Bleeker) (therein referred as H. gerrardi 1) (BO-92, 93, 337, 400), Neotrygon orientalis Last, White & Serét (therein referred as Neotrygon kuhlii (Müller & Henle) (BO-321, 322, 360, 368), Pastinachus solocirostris (BO-164, 165, 177, 256, 267, 464), Pateobatis uarnacoides (therein referred as Himantura uarnacoides ) (Bo-8, 77, 78, 91, 96, 117, 118, 149, 167, 258, 261, 489), and Taeniura lymma 1 (Bo-81, 84, 86, 87, 122, 125, 131). It is of note that BO-360 and BO-368 were absent in the Global Cestode Database and BO-489 is a code for Pastinachus solocirostris and not Pateobatis uarnacoides .
